Many of the plants in your tanks are plants that are grown emersed, and when submersed will loose their leaves. Don't worry the plants will come back, just give it time. You should look into root tabs for ferts instead of flourish. Echinodorus (swords) are root feeders, and will take the majority of their nutrients from the substrate, and not the water column.
